" so I guess the F80 is probably going to try to counteract that on the balance sheet...."
If so , this is probably to catch up on Hd products , the Hd-DVD player that is supposed to be coming ,
a new possibly more affordable ( post Jvc RS1 ) projector system ??
Through all this , DSP speaker systems' simplicity and effectiveness will remain too , so with the 30th Anniversary coming up its possible/likely that some new models will appear ( so I wouldnt give up saving for 'Upgraditis' just yet

).
Having just purchased a Toshiba Hd-DVD player and really enjoying it , I can say straight away that for all its 'great value' and good build quality , it is no Meridian and I for one eagerly await their next ,presumably HD-inclusive range of players to restore the balance to the Force
If you still have your G91 at that point you can always delegate to CD/DVD duties exclusively and still get value from it.
